单词 direction ratios
释义
direction ratios

Mathematics
  • Suppose that a direction has direction cosines cosα‎, cosβ‎, cosγ‎. Any triple of numbers l, m, n, not all zero, such that l = k cosα‎, m = k cosβ‎, n = k cosγ‎, are called direction ratios of the given direction. Since cos2α‎ + cos2β‎ + cos2γ‎ = 1, it follows that

    cosα=±ll2+m2+n2,cosβ=±ml2+m2+n2,cosγ=±nl2+m2+n2,

    where either the + sign or the − sign is taken throughout. So any triple of numbers, not all zero, determine two possible sets of direction cosines, corresponding to opposite directions. The triple l, m, n are said to be direction ratios of a straight line when they are direction ratios of either direction of the line.
